- Tron has surpassed the 51.66 million block height mark with 7,343 nodes across the network.
- Tron holds the second-highest Total Value Locked (TVL) among blockchain networks, with a significant sum of $5.61 billion locked across 22 protocols.
Tron’s native cryptocurrency, TRX, can now be used on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain thanks to the utilization of the BitTorrent (BTT) Bridge. This integration allows TRX to tap into the vast decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, considered the largest in the industry.
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Network, shared in a tweet that TRX has achieved “full accessibility within the Ethereum ecosystem,” providing the contract address for the token as well. The BitTorrent Bridge offers a convenient and efficient solution for transferring assets between blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the Tron network. This bridge facilitates seamless and speedy asset movement between these platforms.
This step will enhance TRX’s liquidity and promote its utilization within DeFi protocols. Ethereum is the leading DeFi ecosystem, with DeFillama data indicating that the total value of assets locked in over 800 protocols exceeds $80 billion.
At the same time, Tron holds the second-highest Total Value Locked (TVL) among blockchain networks, with a significant sum of $5.61 billion locked across 22 protocols. According to data from Crypto News Flash, TRX has experienced a 0.20 percent increase in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at a value of $0.0775 at the time of this report.
